Summer Flower

Hello!  Playing with some gingham and a flower design.  I began by stamping a Flower from GKD Hello Friend set with Memento Rose Bud ink and colored with Pink Copics and added some Wink of Stella for shine.  I fussy cut the flower and popped up on a Oval cut from glossy white CS.  I assembled the card using the layout from Tuesday Morning Sketch.  The base is a Shimmery Pink CS layered with Glossy White CS mat embossed with Cuttlebug EF Gingham.  I attached Pink and White Gingham ribbon and then the Flower image.  The sentiment is from the same GKD set.

Challenges:
Tuesday Morning Sketches: #359
The Ribbon Girl Blog: Anything Goes
Stamp TV: Mix It Up Monday Fantasy Flowers
Double D Challenge: Simply Gingham-used gingham ribbon and embossing

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Bride with Shine

Hello!  Today I have been playing with shine and glitter on a Wedding card.  It is sooo hard to show the results in a photo so I have shared 2 photos of the card so that hopefully you will see the shine achieved with Sakura Stardust and Wink of Stella Pens.  More shine and shimmer is included in the Gold Shimmer CS by DCWV and the Metallic Gold Bells cut with the Cameo.  I was inspired by several challenges in the making of this card using a Digi Image from A Day for Daisies. The digi was printed on GKD heavyweight CS.
Other Supplies: White CS, Metallic Gold CS, Rhinestones, Pilot Gold Metallic Marker, Embossing Folder, New Epson Printer

Challenges:
A Day for Daisies: Challenge #150 Add Glitter.  Used glitter pens and rhinestones as well as the shimmer and metallic CS with Wedding Veil digi.
Sketch Saturday: Sketch # 417 below
Cards in Envy: It's a great day for a White Wedding or Anniversary Card. Card is flat enough for a A2 envelope.
Shopping Our Stash: #257 Use a Dress or Dress Form.  Use a ADFD Digital image from my stash of images and also the bell file from my Silhouette files.  Also used rhinestones and CS from my stash.
Mod Squad Challenge: All That Glitters.  Missed last week's Wedded Bliss challenge but used that theme with my glitter this week.  Lot of glitter on the wedding dress.
Simon Wednesday Challenge: Simon says Add some Shimmer.  And my card shimmers in the cardstock and on the dress.
Cute Card Thursday: Challenge 431 Wedding/Anniversary

Note: I have a new Epson printer because my HP printer quit feeding heavier paper and struggles to print even after I cleaned the rollers and other maintenance.  For my birthday, I asked for Epson SureColor P400 which I can say is a dream printer for a crafter.  And my DH made my birthday wish come true.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Geometric Design

 Second Post today:
Hello! Today I was just playing and decided to go out on a limb with this Runway Inspired Challenge and do something geometric which is very unusual for my style.  But I have always enjoyed working with geometric designs having spent a lot of time doodling with geometric shapes but do not use often in my card making.   I was challenged with the Runway photo on the right to use the colors Blue, Orange, and a nude shade.   I used a Winnie & Walter Geometric design that I downloaded from this post on their blog.  I colored the design using Photoshop and printed it as a background for my card.  I used stamps from Winnie & Walters The Big, the Bold and the Happy set and cutout the Hello using the Cameo and a file also from W&W. I added some shine with a Clear Star pen and Shimmer spritz  to capture the shimmer from the fashion garment but it does not show very well in the photo.
Used Memento Grape Jelly ink and Orange CS Card Base.

Challenges:
Runway Inspired Challenge: RIC#84 Custo Barcelona fashion shown in photo. Used colors and geometrics from photo.
Winnie & Walter Blog: Geometric Challenge -use geometric element in your design and use Winnie& Walter products. Check out their other great geometric designs.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa
